My Favorite Paleo Recipes: Bacon Crock Pot Roast

Lots of women impulse buy things like shoes or purses. I tend to linger at the butcher counter, which inevitabley means I buy meat that I have no plans for. Which means I then have to scour the internet looking for the perfect recipe. Luckily one of my first "go-to" websites is Civilized Caveman Cooking Creations. Not only does he create amazing recipes, he's funny as well.
From Twitter:

I just changed my own life. I fried avocado in bacon fat and then ate it with hot sauce. OMFG

My most recent impulse buy was a Beef Chuck Roast that was 50% off and just looked so pretty I had to have it. I decided to use it in CCCC's Bacon Crockpot Roast recipe, which was a GREAT idea. I'd never stuffed garlic and bacon into a large slab of meat before, and it turned out to be surprisingly entertaining. And nothing beats putting in a large slab of meat into the crockpot, knowing that by 5p you're going to be digging into it. This is a perfect Football Sunday recipe, in my opinion.
